i
think that's just swell. i mean who knew actual change like this was
still possible. i come from the world of publishing and i know that ads
rule the magazine. just like money rules the world. maybe i haven't
been following the case, but it seems like NOW, national organization
of women, just decided to protest the sex trafficking ads in the backs
of these newspapers/magazines and the publishers just decided, sure,
we'll do without that revenue. but it's like they were trying to see
how long they could get away with advertising prostitutes on their
books before someone caught on. well, i'm sure it was a long and hard
fight for NOW. maybe they can make some more changes, using this
example as proof of their clout. | | |
| look! i'm writing!
actually, i've picked up writing again . but in a book. with a pen.
it's really humbling to realize you’ve forgotten how to write. hehe.
but seriously, typing is veeery different from writing. but i find that
writing for me is about the feeling of a good pen in my hand writing on
good college ruled paper. it's more personal. i know i have no audience
but myself and maybe my cats. freewriting is so important! it helps me
focus and ramble and go off and insane tangents. hm, that's kind of
oxymoronical. haha, great new word. anyway, oxymoron that i write for
focus by using tangents. i guess it's more that i have too many
thoughts wirling in my head, that sometimes, i'm overwhelmed by them.
they become a tornado of thoughts in my tiny little brain, and i find
comfort in the notion that when i'm writing about one specific thing, i
can concentrate on that one thing until my hands finish getting the
words onto the paper. does that make sense? does to me! =)
so i'm in a pickle with my career. i'm bouncing around the magazine
world freelancing, and it's hard as feck. it's interesting to meet new
peoples and learn new techniques to do the same thing, but man, it's
tiring. i'm not myself when i first meet a coworker. i'm shy and timid.
they don't see how friendly i really am. but then again, i'm not really
being paid by the hour to make friends, am i? instead at this gig, i'm
being paid to blog on xanga, for the first time in hoever many months.
freelancing's weird.
ok, i'm done. gonna go take advantage of the cool coffee machine.

| transformers was i think the coolest movie i've ever seen. i know, it's a bold statement. but i'm willing to put myself out there.
